Jambo everyone! In case you missed it, back a few pages we had a sighting of that most elusive species... the twokids multi-quote!

It's like a sighting of the Yeti... ;)

glad you didn't let a little rain stop you! did you still have your poncho on?

I got SOAKED to the bone... and no poncho... but glad someone's paying attention...


And look - another MULTI QUOTE! There's know way I'll win this one, using these archaic tactics.
 

am I the only one in the DDc that does not really care for Illuminations???:confused3 To me the major cloud of smoke just ruins it for me. I like to see the fireworks and not a big smoke screen.I would take wishes over it any day of the week... What are your thoughts?

I actually quite enjoy Illuminations. Something about the music that gets to me.

I especially love watching it with first-timers.

Wishes is great too. :thumbsup2

I like illuminations, but the only show better than Wishes is Hallo Wishes.

I'm only an expert on how I do Disney! Of course, some people may think our high post counts mean that we complain alot!

1000:1
just throwing out a number.
.

I have that number easy. I may be at 600:1

I can get to WDW from my house without a map. However, I need a park map to get from the DHS entrance to Muppetvision 3D. I never can remember the best way to go.

:rotfl2:

whoever wrestles the alligator should do it in the Alice dress! this will cut down on a lot of confusion!!!!

I see more money.
 
Good Googly-Moogly!
Over twenty pages in a day!

Oh wait a minute, I doing this out of order….


‘Morning all...



Now then,
Good Googly-Moogly!
Over twenty pages in a day, with out a closing going on, are y’all nuts?

I suppose so, which means I’m in the right place.
So what did I miss?

Maybe I just to view it differently :3dglasses If you take pictures of Wishes you get nice firework shots. If you take pictures of Illuminations you get smoke. Maybe I should try viewing it from Germany:drinking1:drinking1:drinking1 Maybe it will be better for me.

ugh. Sorry you have to go through that. Even if it's for the best, it still must be difficult. I hope it goes as well as it can for you.

thanks but I'm the lawyer so I'll be fine. My hope is to talk sense to these folks and get them to settle.

Now that’s a good idea…
Either from there of the Rose & Crown (depending on which type of brew you prefer).

I’ll agree that Iluminations is a bit smoky. The action takes place at a lower altitude (I suspect so that it doesn’t compete directly with Wishes). But I’m with Scott about the music being more engaging. As a musician, that gets my attention so I see the Epcot show as more exciting, but Wishes is more of a visual treat.

Smoke can be cool...

I'm definetly more of a Wishes fan. Illuminations is OK but you are right about the amount of smoke and the long pause from the fireworks in the middle with the pictures on the globe just slow down the whole show for me. I also liked it better when each of the countries had a more active roll in the show.

I hear that they are going to be revamping this show soon closer to what it was and getting rid of the video globe.
 
Morning guys!

Reserved so I can come back and give a 2000 post speech.

I enjoy Illuminations. The music and show is pretty cool, imo.

Now that you mention it, I usually am 3-6 drinks in by the time I watch it!!!! :rotfl2::rotfl2:

Morning Gents!

10:20 am Monday morning and 1 meeting out of the way. Clear sailing for the rest of the day. I hope.
 
Morning Guys!

Its another beautiful Monday. Cant believe you guys shut down the old thread and are 35 pages into the new one already. I would have been right there with you, but I spent the weekend working around the house. Not fun but it had to be done. I was able to recover the 170G of Pictures I had on an external HD that I thought had failed. Turned out to be the Power & control board, not the HD, so I count this weekend as successful.

Matt


Well done sir!
